[SOLVED, sort of] After nvidia upgrade, computer crashes at logout

My video card is Nvidia GEForce 6150 LE, rev 2.  After I upgraded nvidia  on 10/10/08, my computer crashes whenever I log out, and I have to shut down the power and reboot.  This happens on kde and gnome, and also when I press Control-Alt-Backspace.  I tried the new nvidia-173xx drivers, but they didn't work at all.  Finally I went back to vesa, and that works.

Problem solved, sort of.  I noticed that the Flint, Michigan mirror was 15 days out of sync, and I downloaded the old nvidia driver from there.  Now everything works fine, as before.  Here's the page that tells the status of mirrors:

Still, it would be nice to use the new driver.   If anyone else has this problem and has missed out on the out-of-sync mirrors, send me an email and I can give you the package.
